Anti tf antibody

Manufactured by Fortis Life Sciences
Sourced in United States

The Anti-Tf antibody is a laboratory tool used to detect and quantify transferrin (Tf) in biological samples. Transferrin is an iron-binding protein that plays a crucial role in iron homeostasis. The Anti-Tf antibody can be utilized in various immunoassay techniques to measure Tf levels, which can provide insights into iron metabolism and related physiological processes.

We quantified Tf isoforms, brain-type and serum-type (formerly Tf-1 and Tf-2, respectively) by immunoblotting as previously described11) (link). Briefly, each CSF sample was dissolved in sample buffer and boiled for 5 min. The CSF sample was loaded onto 7.5% SDS-polyacrylamide gels (SuperSepTM Ace; Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. After blocking the membrane with 3% skim milk in phosphate-buffered saline with Tween (PBST), and incubating sequentially with an anti-Tf antibody (Bethyl Laboratories) and an HRP-labeled anti-goat IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA), the protein was detected using a SuperSignal West Dura Chemiluminescence Substrate Kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL). Signal intensities were quantified by chromato-scanning with a CS Analyzer 2.0 (ATTO, Tokyo, Japan).

Protein Analysis of CSF and Serum

CSF and serum samples were dissolved in Laemmli buffer without 2-mercaptoethanol, boiled for 3 min, and loaded on SDS-polyacrylamide gels (194–1502, FUJIFILM Wako) [27 (link)]. After SDS-PAGE, protein bands were visualized with a Silver Stain II kit (FUJIFILM Wako). For immunoblotting, proteins separated on gels were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were blocked in 3% skim milk, and incubated sequentially with the following combinations of primary and secondary antibodies: anti-Tf antibody (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled anti-goat IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA, USA); anti-PDGS antibody (PA1-46023, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and HRP-labeled anti-rabbit IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA, USA); anti-TTR antibody (ab9015, Abcam, Cambridge, CB2 0AX, UK) and HRP-labeled anti-sheep IgG antibody (#31480, BiotechnologyThermo Fisher Scientific). The protein bands were visualized with a SuperSignal West Dura Chemiluminescence Substrate Kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL, USA). Purified standards of GlcNAc and Man-Tf mixture were purified from CSF as described previously [15 (link)]. His-tagged TTR (89-7754-27) and L-PGDS (E-PKSH030653.10) were purchased from Elabscience Biotechnology Inc., (Houston, TX, USA) and Biomol (Hamburg, Germany)

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
